[EDIT]: Lucy is a genius. She gave me the perfect idea and I can still use my character for it! I just.. have to soak it in water for an hour so to speak.
Theme: Standing up for yourself. (In a non-violent way of course.)

Eeeghh.
So. For the Children's Book class. I have ideas... but I don't know where to go.
I spent the last hour working at the spot illustration for that class. I probably won't be able to finish it tonight... unless I pull an all nighter which seems plausible for me.

Here it is... in color and with a background I'm going to change for the assignment. I was just experimenting.

Words surrounding it would be something along the lines of... "Reading takes you to different worlds."
I'm going to add some bio-luminescent bugs floating around. Some nymphs too. But... I should really just keep it simple because it's suppose to be grayscale. But I want to make a colored version for myself.

Now with the children's book. I really want to use that character above. Tetra.
She's suppose to be all clerical-like and a knowledge sponge.
I figure I would use her to teach about bugs... namely pollinators since I work at Old Westbury Gardens. And I recently did that coloring sheet for kids... so why not continue the trend?

But I also have other ideas. For my audience I'm gearing this more towards older children. Probably around 9-10 year olds.

It was suggested to me that I come up with a kid friendly story revolving around semi-chibified versions of my characters. That'd be neat and all but I doubt I would have time for that. Keep in mind that I only have three weeks to come up with a dummy of a book...

Keep It Simple. Keep It Simple. Keep It Simple.

Arrrrgh.
Hm! Maybe I could come up with a new shtick besides character I've already made. An Adventure Book! Hmmm!

Anyway. Random sketch below.
